| Mike Lasala (pronounced luh-sal-uh) merges gritty vocals, acoustic guitar and introspective lyrics, to create his unique brand of acoustic rock. His voice has drawn comparisons to Scott Weiland (Stone Temple Pilots), Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam), or a later-day Bruce Springsteen, and he has performed at clubs, coffeehouses, colleges and festivals in California, Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts and New York. Mike's songs convey life lessons, observations, and experiences that seek to reassure others they are not alone on the journey we call life. Since the release of his second album, "This Strange Place," Mike has... *Performed at coffeehouses, bars, colleges and festivals throughout Connecticut; *Received airplay on 99.1 WPLR, 1340 WYBC, UltraRadio.com, and Radio Golden Flash in Belgium ; *Garnered favorable reviews in the New Haven Advocate, PLAY Magazine and CT Music.com ; *Seen his song "George the Gifter" picked by PLAY Magazine as one of the 10 best songs of 2006; *Watched Somewhere to Be sell-out three times at CDBaby.com, and his sophomore release, This Strange Place, sell-out twice. Originally from New Haven, CT, Mike relocated to Jupiter, FL in May 2011 to write new songs and explore new opportunities. |

| Reviews of "This Strange Place" "Eleven acoustic-based tunes that reside happily on the corner of Rock and Folk streets. Simple and well written with a smoky vocal coating...Lasala also gets to show off his lead guitar chops which ain't nothing to shrug off" - Craig Gilbert, New Haven Advocate, 12/7/06 "...a voice very similar to Scott Weiland or a later-day Springsteen...With deep confessionals, story songs, and just plain catchy words and melodies, This Strange Place, is a cut above his 2003 debut Somewhere to Be." - Patrick Ferrucci, Register Entertainment Editor, PLAY Magazine, 12/6/06 Click here for more reviews. |
